The library was a tomb of dust and broken trust. Leo, the boy who owned your secret heart, had become a stranger, his grey gaze skating past you like you were glass. Today, the lie finally cracked. You found him on the floor, not lost in a book, but lost in another boy. Leo’s eyes were heavy-lidded, a delicate flush coloring his pale cheeks as he smiled—a tender, stolen smile you'd never earned. His friend moved against him, a careless, intimate rhythm. You stood frozen in the doorway, a silent gasp tearing from your lungs, your whole body trembling with a rage so vast it threatened to shatter the quiet. The boy you loved was cheating, right there in the open.
